About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Central Garden & Pet Announces Increase in Stock Repurchase Authorization

Central Garden & Pet Company (NASDAQ: CENT), (NASDAQ: CENTA), a market leader in the pet and garden industries, today announced that its Board of Directors has increased the authorization under its stock repurchase program. The Board authorized Central to purchase up to an additional $100 million of its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock. Following this increase, as of December 11, 2024, the total repurchase authorization will be approximately $130 million.

Central’s Board of Directors has determined that an increase in the current authorization for the future repurchase of issued and outstanding shares of stock would be in the best interests of Central and its stockholders. The Board considers Central’s stock to be currently undervalued in the marketplace and believes that having the flexibility to repurchase additional stock should therefore be advantageous to Central and its stockholders by increasing future earnings per share of outstanding stock.

Central’s stock repurchase program authorizes the purchase of its issued and outstanding stock through brokers and dealers in the open market, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, and in privately negotiated transactions. The source of funds for the stock repurchases will be from cash on hand and borrowings. The repurchased shares will be retired and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares.

The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital availability and other market conditions. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be limited or terminated at any time without prior notice.
